JavaFX is an expressive client platform for creating and delivering rich Internet experiences across all screens of your life. It combines the best capabilities of the Java platform with comprehensive, immersive media functionality into an intuitive and comprehensive, one-stop development environment.

JavaFX software extends the capabilities of the Java platform by delivering high-fidelity audio and video, rich text, vector graphics, animation, and Web services via a simple but powerful scripting language. The JavaFX SDK has the essential set of technologies, tools, and resources developers and designers need to create and deploy expressive and powerful content across multiple platforms and devices.

JavaFX software provides a unified development and deployment model for building rich client applications that can run across browsers, desktops, mobile devices, and TVs. You can even drag applications from your browser to your desktop and run the applications from there. JavaFX software allows you to creatively program in a visual context, helping you bring your ideas to life quicker and better.

JavaFX software lets you use Java libraries in JavaFX applications, opening up a wealth of resources available through preexisting libraries built by the Java ecosystem. Plus, JavaFX software allows access to device-level capabilities on mobile devices. Developers can continue to leverage the global Java ecosystem with its vast knowledge base and marketplace. And JavaFX software can help companies deliver compelling brand-name content and richer experiences that can differentiate their offerings — while leveraging their existing technology investments.

JavaFX software allows designers and developers to simply and swiftly combine graphics and media assets to unleash their creative potential. Using the JavaFX Production Suite, a set of tools and plugins for Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, designers can seamlessly create and export graphics from their existing tools into the JavaFX format. The plugins allow one-click conversion and provide a preview that lets designers make modifications prior to conversion. Also included is the JavaFX Media Factory, enabling designers to use Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) editors such as Inkscape with JavaFX software.

JavaFX applications are written in JavaFX Script, a language designed for Web developers and technical designers who like to program in a visual context. It’s a simple, easy-to-learn, declarative scripting language that enables developers to write code that closely matches the layout of the GUI. And JavaFX Script has a powerful data binding feature — a simple syntax for synchronizing the state of multiple objects — that allows GUI components to automatically change state with changes in underlying data.
